Rain Man

This is my hubby. We met through a dating service. He was my 11th match. I was his 1st. I continued to date people after we met....he didn't. We don't really make sense "on paper", but we make perfect sense in real life!

D-Man

This is my first born. He is funny, smart, sarcastic and obsessed with baseball. He loves his baby sisters and they know it and can get him to do almost anything for them!

A-Girl

A-Girl is my oldest girl, my first C-Section and likes a lot of the same things I do. She is turning into a teenager in front of my nervous eyes. We bond watching So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway and Design Star.

L-Girl

L-Girl is my second girl. She is a lot like her father. Full of energy and ideas. I can occassionally talk her into bonding over a dancing show, but she would rather be off running around doing other things.

A-Man

This little dude is not easily forgotten by anyone who meets him. He has lots and lots and lots of energy and lots and lots and lots of ideas of things to try and just see what happens. Usually the results get him and trouble and then Mom and Dad laugh behind closed doors.

S-Girl

This little peanut looks just like me when I was her age. She is A-Man's partner in crime. She has every male in our house wrapped around her cute little pinkie.

V-Girl

This is my baby. She has been walking since 9 months and has been a lot of fun and trouble ever since. She is a jolly baby who has all of us wrapped around her chubby little finger.

He was so excited to be a ring bearer! He could not wait to get dressed. The only thing he was disappointed with is that he didn't get to wear a bow tie. The only thing he wasn't excited about wearing? In his words, "The shiny, girl shoes!"

I didn't get to see S-girl get ready. (insert sad face here) The bridal party asked if we could drop her off at their house, so the big girls could fix her hair. So, off she went to get changed into her little flower girl self....she even got to ride in a limo to the church....here she is after:

It was very important to her that they "hooked" arms.

Her hair matched all the big girls hair....

Here they are with the lovely bride....

And again, with A-man's "signature" look...

Isn't her dress just gorgeous?? My slightly blurry picture doesn't do it justice!

Here he is with the lucky groom!

These next pictures were taken by A-girl because I sang 2 songs before the ceremony, so I had to run up to the front of the church and sing. For those of you interested, I sang the tried and true - There is Love and The Prayer - made famous by Celine Dion and Josh Groban. In case you are interested, I think I did pretty good - as long as you don't really speak Italian - because I am fairly certain I butchered the Italian - normally sung by good ole Josh!

Taking a little nap before heading down the aisle...

Getting last minute instructions and a little shove from the wedding coordinator...

I don't know if you can tell or not, but the ring pillow has a picture of Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) on it because that has been the bride's favorite princess her whole life. Oh, and she trusted A-man to actually carry the real rings up the aisle and give them to the best man.

And off they go...

I hope the pictures from the real photographer turn out because they were just as cute as can be. A-man was all serious and manly - doing his job. S-girl had a smile on her face the whole time...but instead of looking straight ahead or at the people in the pews, so was looking adoringly up at her big brother!

Exchanging vows...

S-girl and A-man didn't stand up front during the ceremony, but sat with the mother and father of the groom....Auntie Debbie and Uncle Frank....

V-girl was pretty good throughout the ceremony....she got a little restless, so she went over and joined her cousins for a little dancing time during the service...

Pinky wasn't far off during the ceremony...

And, finally, one last shot before heading out for the party!

All in all I am pretty disappointed in my pictures....not sure if it was the camera, or me ( I was feeling a bit rushed with my singing, Rainman reading scripture during the ceremony and the all the kids' jobs) - but most of them are a little (or a lot) out of focus. I am hoping that the photographer took enough of my kids (honestly, it didn't seem like I saw her taking many formal pictures with them included - so I am a little nervous)....but, if she did, I hope I will be able to afford them!!!
